Rejected petition Compulsory lessons in Internet saftey for 5th years with some touching on identity fraud

More details

We are calling for more lessons at an earlier stage in life on internet safety, this is because of the growing importance of the internet in daily life and education. Last year 94% of children aged 10-15 used the internet in the UK. With young children like this on the internet it is astounding that they do not know how to protect themselves because of a lack of education on it.
